70 EMG founder and CEO Martin da Costa said, “The incredible response to the first edition of Generation Speed in 2025 proved that India’s motoring culture is not just alive—it’s accelerating into an exciting new era. We witnessed a powerful sense of community among car and bike lovers from every corner of the country. That energy and enthusiasm have inspired us to take the 2026 edition to an entirely new level. Generation Speed isn’t just a festival – it’s the heart of a growing movement that celebrates the automobile, and the unbreakable bond between people and machines. Whether you ride, drive, build, or simply admire, this is where India’s motoring spirit truly comes alive.”
